Flavert Media Lab {The Blog}

Hello mobilewarriors and visitors. Quite some time I didn’t write any articles. World’s been busy, and same as me.

So here goes article. A quick article I’ve wrote, Tissue Tips.

If you realize, if you come to every cafes or even fast food chains, they will give tissues. Tissues being served for your convenience. Aside from wiping our mouth and hand, tissue can be most useful to one mobile warriors. Usually, the shops will give you at least 2-3 piece of 2 ply (helaian) tissues. From my observation, unused/extra tissues will be left untouched by customer and those unused tissues, usually, following the restaurant code of conduct ( I was a Shakey’s Pizza service crew before so I know ) will be thrown away.

I’m serious. It is same as leftovers. Untouched tissues will be thrown away. ( I didn’t know if there’s restaurant keeping it )

How to fix this?

Ahoy fellas. If you’re on twitter and following famous fellas on Social Media or foursquare junkie, best bet is that you heard this a day before KLSpecial

In a nutshell the idea is to get shops signed up as “owners” on foursquare and have them make specials available for the rest of us. We seek support of other 4squarers out there along with some of the bloggerati and twitterati of KL.  If you want to help just drop us your contact details and we will touch base with you on how you can get involved. – taken from their site.

Officekami is a proud supporter of this movement. Every location submitted and shall their owner want to promote it as one of #mobileoffice destination, it will be automatically listed in the Officekami Locations. So it will definitely help mobilewarriors in finding best locations + discounts, if they’re frequent visitors or mayor.

So dear mobilewarriors, if you have extra 10 minutes at your locations, or you’re feeling burnout from working, go to the respective contact person of that shop, and educate them. It is for their benefit afterall The resources to educate them on #KLspecials is here.

And if you’re asking benefit on your part, what you get is special itself. Imagine if you’re frequent visitor to The Bee, check in X5 will reward you a cappucino. Doesn’t that sounds nice? Or maybe some other locations give you X% discount. It is all that we want. And we need more and more shops to join.

If you click the picture, it will lead you to the news excerpt online, in Malay language. For English readers, it is about

Aha. Now that I guess most of you benefitted from the last Officekami Discount Meal Sheet last week, I believe you find this useful too, Discount Card Comparison.

Clicking on the page will view the bigger version of the picture. Alternatively, you can also download Officekami Discount Card Comparison PDF version and stick it on your partition wall, if you still not practicing #mobileoffice :p (because if you mobileoffice, you’ll miss that partition wall )

The resource of that Old Town White Coffee Citizen Card promotion was taken from Longlibra here. And the card picture is from Mietos. Since I don’t have Old Town Card.

Looking forward to hear your feedback, and spread the news fellas!

Apparently I have much time to kill so I created this based on my experience

Few things to take account to

KFC & McDonalds = Non-ergonomic chairs. Noise, and may only have few plugs ( but certain McDonalds have a lot of plug )

Secret Recipe = Their WiFi is protected by Streamyx Zone. Lately, they open a connection. Kindly ask the server first.

Old Town = Non-ergonomic chairs. Few exclusive oldtown do have comfy chairs. One of it is Bangsar South.

Coffee Bean = their Breakfast meal only coffee/tea-refillable before 11AM.

San Francisco Coffee = Non-uniformed rules on ‘Buy One Free One’ (BOFO). In Menara UOA Bangsar, you can buy BOFO after lunch. In Ampang Point, BOFO only available during weekends.

Above all, kindly ask the waiter if there’s WiFi available at the outlet.

If you’re a great graphic designer, then feel free to redesign this cheat sheet. It is under attributions/share-alike. Just credit back us okay And feel free to reblog this

The second App Showdown is Teambox. I myself tried few Team collaboration tools. Namely Bantam Live. Then last two weeks I remember fellow Mobilewarriors Arzumy/Hakim Albsrawy twitted about Teambox. Since Flavert/Weddingkami work remotely in every own spaces, we need few stuff like virtual whiteboards or service to share project updates.

Since I’m a fan of desktop apps, most of screenshot is desktop app version. Don’t worry, still the same with webview.

Let me start with an Overview Panel when you login to your Teambox

When you login, you can see the overview of your Projects. Definition: Projects in Teambox is a project that being run in a company. However, since we want to use the apps for free, I decided that Weddingkami is a Project. And all projects received by clients will be defined as Tasks.

One year before, I said Hello World.

Within this one year, Officekami has reviewed 120 Locations and 15 articles. Err the articles is a bit few.

And to date, @Nazroll from Redboot Solutions has elevated the presence of Officekami by hacking it and WIN FOR IT WEI! during Yahoo OpenHack Southeast Asia, and even did a mobile test version for Officekami site.

And day by day, me myself assisting in suggesting fellow mobile warriors finding nearby mobileoffice via @officekami twitter. Even it’s not much of a followers, just 77, but I’m intrigued and amazed at the reception. It even featured at InfoMalaya and Amanz.my, just few tech blogs here.

Imagine you got a phone call asking where to work, that’s how crazy, well at least for me.

and thanks to bunch of mobile warriors for joining first co-working event in conjunction with Earth Hour,  thanks to our sponsor of that day, San Francisco Coffee.

I’ve given talks to TEDxMMU on how Mobileoffice could save the world, and at BarcampKL too. No available slides uploaded, sooner seriously.

And I must thank all for the support. But I would not stop here.

I will propose a Bill of Telecommuting in Malaysia. Okay at this point you should laugh.

Officekami is a Weddingkami community project, where we share our corporate culture with others, by doing work mobile. There’s no business activity behind Officekami, and the value of Officekami is the info that will help the community.

Mobile Office for the win

Sincerely, Ikhwan Nazri

P/S: CUT THE CRAP WHY THIS POST SOUNDS SO EMO LOL!!  (maybe coz of that last line sincerely hahaha) Okay on the shorter note, I’ll will definitely bring Officekami more alive and kicking in the 2nd year. Chale!

Last november, @Nazroll from Redboot Solutions, just ‘hacked’ Officekami and won ‘Best Productivity Hack’ at Southeast Asia Open Hack Day organized by Yahoo. I’m really happy to heard someone make use of Officekami data. And now he further develop it for mobile devices. Below are some of the screenshot of it inside my mobile phone.

Hello all mobilewarriors! Aha. In less than a week we’ll be celebrating Earth Hour that will be held on the last Saturday of March annually. This Saturday, see all local house turning off their lights for an hour for a change. And since it falls on Saturday, which is non-working day, it is not that beneficial for us, who are working so I was thinking if I could pull an Officekami day, a day where most of mobilewarriors going out, co-working at mobileoffices to save their Office electric.

Now what are the benefit of Officekami day ?

• Save your electricity
• Meet other Mobilewarriors from other profession
• To celebrate Earth Hour, a day before.

Last year during BarcampKL, I’ve stated this in my Mobileoffice presentation

Consider this

You and your department, 10 people, decided to go mobile on every Friday, or working at home

By deciding that, you’ll turn off all the electrical appliances in the office,

Wasn’t that earth day? kinda

What do you think? Read more please.
